paint mismatch
Bought 4 gallons of Home Depot (Behr) latex paint for some room painting.
I used roller and edge tool to paint the first room. It looks great. However, on the second room, the part where I used the edge tool shows up lighter that the walls where I used the roller. What would have caused this? The paint is completely dry now. Thanks. |

Most likely you didn't mix the separate gallons before using and "cut in" the second room w/ different mix than you finished rolling out with. Second, lighting differences and texture between the roller and the pad can make apparent differences shade. -- |

Did you mix all 4 together before painting. |

.... Agreee with mixing all 4 gallons together, but color making is extremely accurate these days. So its more likely that the paint is thinner with the edge tool gizmo. ... I'd say your luck w/ the mixing stations is better than mine, then... -- |
